In this paper we investigate algorithms and lower bounds for summarization problems over a single pass data stream. In particular we focus on histogram construction and K-center c...
We study the problem of incrementally maintaining an XPath query on an XML database under updates. The updates we consider are node insertion, node deletion, and node relabeling. ...
Computing an equi-join followed by a duplicate eliminating projection is conventionally done by performing the two operations in serial. If some join attribute is projected away t...
The ability to flexibly compose confidence computation with the operations of relational algebra is an important feature of probabilistic database query languages. Computing confi...
The inclusion of Regular Expressions (REs) is the kernel of any type-checking algorithm for XML manipulation languages. XML applications would benefit from the extension of REs wi...
We study the problem of querying data sources that accept only a limited set of queries, such as sources accessible by Web services which can implement very large (potentially inf...
Almost all medium- and large-scale businesses rely on electronic workflow systems to manage their business processes. A key challenge is to enable the easy re-use and modification...
This article deals with consistent query answering to conjunctive queries under primary key constraints. The repairs of an inconsistent database db are obtained by selecting a max...
World-set algebra is a variable-free query language for uncertain databases. It constitutes the core of the query language implemented in MayBMS, an uncertain database system. Thi...
